About Emily

Emily Schram helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma, and self-esteem struggles to move toward greater stability and meaning.

Background and approach

She works with adolescents and adults to explore how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships shape daily life, and supports clients in building practical skills and clearer perspectives that promote hope and purpose. Emily draws from a mix of evidence-informed practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Her style emphasizes collaborative goal-setting, skill development, and finding realistic steps forward during periods of transition such as pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, divorce and separation, or major life changes. Emily earned a master’s degree in counseling and has practiced as an outpatient therapist since 2013, bringing eight years of experience to her work in New Mexico.

She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and aims to create a respectful, strengths-based space where clients can explore topics like body image, family of origin issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and coping with past abuse or loss.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, self-harm urges, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try techniques that match their needs, and adjust methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for skill practice between sessions, and enable ongoing contact in different ways so clients can find what best supports their progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
